With the days getting longer and the air feeling just that little bit warmer, there’s no better time to give your home a much-needed refresh. As we deep clean our kitchens, declutter chaotic cupboards, and brighten up our interiors, there’s one essential task that should be part of every spring-cleaning checklist: home safety.

That’s why FireAngel’s Refresh & Protect campaign is here to remind us that a refreshed home isn’t just about how it looks but it’s also about making sure it’s safe. Whether it’s checking your smoke alarms, replacing outdated carbon monoxide detectors, or upgrading to smart technology to improve safety, a few small changes this season could make all the difference in protecting your home and your loved ones.

Here’s how you can make your home safer this spring.

Declutter and defend against fire risks

Spring cleaning isn’t just about making your home look great. It’s also the perfect time to clear away hidden fire hazards. From grease build-up in the kitchen to overloaded plug sockets, small risks can quickly turn into big problems.

Check your existing alarms are working

Press the test button on your smoke, heat and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms every month to ensure they’re functioning properly.

Replace outdated alarms

If your alarm is 10 years old, it’s time to upgrade. FireAngel’s cost-effective alarms are easy to install, and if you need a helping hand, their friendly UK-based Customer Support team is always on hand to offer expert advice.

Look for areas of your home with missing alarms

For a quick alert to danger FireAngel advise to install smoke alarms in the hallway and landing, a heat alarm in the kitchen and for extra security you can have smoke alarms in the bedroom and living spaces. Finish with a carbon monoxide alarm for protection in any room with a fuel-burning appliance.*

Make a fresh start for your home with a smart alarm system

FireAngel’s Pro Connected range includes a smart alarm system, sending real-time alerts to your phone, ensuring that even when you’re away you’ll know if something’s wrong. Whether it’s a low battery warning or a triggered alarm, you’ll always have peace of mind at your fingertips.

Provide extra protection with a digital carbon monoxide alarm

For homeowners looking to go the extra mile, the FireAngel Digital Carbon Monoxide Alarm is a must-have. Awarded a Which? Best Buy Endorsement, this alarm features a digital display screen providing visual updates, a loud, clear alarm to alert you at the first sign of danger and a temperature display, making it ideal for nurseries and children’s bedrooms.
